Hi, I (just today in fact) have gotten another horrified response when someone read my signature and saw the psu I was running. It appears to be a fire hazard. Another poster pointed to poor quality of build design and parts.
Now I haven't seen any direct reviews of this psu except on the usual large online retailers (you know who I mean) but I did read an independent review, from someone who seems knowledgeable, about a different model from the same company. It was a disaster. All of this reading was done post purchase, and now I find myself wondering... "Exactly how bad is this piece?" I'm just amazed that it is so universally reviled! And immediately too! Someone tell me what's going on here please?
Also in my search for a new psu I ran across many things that I had no idea about. Ripple for instance has always been a type of potato chip, not a measure of electrical stability. And while I do ha e questions about ripple, I think I have a handle on the basics. Where I get confused is in the "protection " heading. Apparently these 3 letter abbreviations are more than psu raincoats, but I do find D some of the terminology hard to follow. Is there a guide on these terms I could read?
